GS2210 Series
48-port GbE L2 Switch
Incorporating data, video and voice communications into a single IP network provides more
effective communications, centralized IT management, and lower overall deployment cost for the
entire organization. This is why an increasing amount of businesses, educational institutions, and
hotels are adopting such IP-based services as VoIP, video conferencing, IP surveillance, and IPTV.
Yet such converged deployments pose many challenges to the IP network. IT staff need to ensure
consistent performance for critical applications, provide sufficient isolation and network security,
and shape network traffic to meet the demands of diverse deployments.
The ZyXEL GS2210 Series are fully featured Layer 2 Gigabit access switches designed to meet
these converged data, video and voice networking challenges. The 48-port models have a flexible
port configuration of forty-four (44) GbE RJ-45 ports, two (2) GbE SFP ports, and four (4) GbE
combo (RJ-45/SFP) ports. The PoE models comply with the IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE Plus
standards and provide a high PoE power budget of 375 watts. The complete GS2210 Series has a
rich Layer 2 feature set with advanced traffic shaping, network isolation, and security features—
making it the perfect L2 access switch solution for converged data, video and voice networking.
Benefits
Agile traffic control for converged networking applications
Designed for access layer converged data, video and voice applications, the ZyXEL GS2210 Series
has a rich Layer 2 feature set that can shape the traffic for diverse VoIP, video conference, IPTV and
IP surveillance deployments. Supporting L2 multicast and IGMP snooping, the GS2210 Series can
support large IPTV deployments, while using bandwidth efficiently by directing multicast traffic to
the subscribers only. The Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) function ensures better network security
by allowing a single multicast VLAN to be shared in the network while subscribers remain in separate
VLANs. These advanced traffic control features of the GS2210 Series provide hotels, businesses and
educational institutions greater agility and more effective traffic management for the converged
applications of today.
Intelligent and high-powered Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The ZyXEL GS2210 Series PoE switches feature advanced and intelligent PoE functions that simplify and
lower the cost of PoE deployments such as IP telephony, WLAN and IP surveillance. This Series of L2 PoE
switches support the IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE Plus standards, which provide up to 30 watts of
power per port for advanced Powered Devices (PD) like 802.11ac wireless APs and video IP phones. The
high power budget of 375 watts enables the GS2210 PoE switches to comfortably accommodate the PDs
required in a modern network edge.
